So SMACC is nearly upon us.

I wouldn’t like to be organising it. 

Paul Young is going and he is hilarious. And very smart. And a research rising star. I certainly have all his mind maps via LITFL.  

He knows how to put a meeting together having recently been the Medical Convener of the ASM of the worlds first College of Intensive Care Medicine. (He is, however, rather humble about how hard it was to dream it all up.) 

And he controls the weather. Is there anything he cannot do? Well, he couldn’t comment when he was asked comment on the goings on at the notorious Boogie Wonderland Night Club late one night in Wellington. The plot thickens.

We recently had a great conversation with Angela Chiew (clinical toxicologist) about the new paracetamol guidelines in Australia. We picked her brains on how and why the guidelines were made, and the decisions behind the changes. We also discuss the many varied ways patients can present in overdose, how you risk assess and treat those at the bedside. This is a packed 1 hour podcast with so many juicy pearls I was unable to edit it further.
